Book four in the Scarpetta series finds Kay performing an autopsy on a killer that was recently executed. A shot time later, a victim was found murdered in much the same fashion that the recently executed murderer like to kill people, and his fingerprints were even found on the body, despite having been locked up in prison and executed. Lucy, who is now seventeen, helps out on the case because she is a computer whiz. It is so interesting to see the use of pay phones and pagers, and how technology and forensic workings have advanced so much from this point in the series to now. I still find the level of technicality appropriate, and it makes the story very engaging. Of further interesting notation, the former boyfriend of Kay Scarpetta met an interesting end which is discussed in this book.
